Before you begin, you need to be prepared with traps to capture the Brontosaurus. You will need the following items.

Crossbow
Tranquiliser Arrows x200
Narcotics x150
Dinosaur Gateway x10 or Bear Traps x2
Kibble or Berries x70

Preparation

First, go around and find the Brontosaurus, then clear the area of any other creature or enemy around. Next, place sleeping beds near the area for a quick spawn point. Also, place the Dinosaur Gateway or Bear Trap to trap the Brontosaurus. If using the Gateway, add these gates in a 45 degree angle and place three or four of them together, depending on the size of the Brontosaurus. This will be the opening of the trap where you have to lure the dino towards.

Trapping

Now go around and lure the Brontosaurus towards the gate by hitting it with weapons or the tranquiliser darts to draw its attention. Lure it towards the trap to ensnare it. For the Gateway, once the dino is inside the first row of gates, quickly complete the enclosure with the remaining gates.

After that, take out your crossbow and shoot the dino with the Tranquiliser Arrows. Keep hitting it till it loses consciousness. Beware of the Bronto’s tail swings as it tries to knock out the traps.

Feeding

Once the Bronco is down, feed it Kibble, Berries, and Narcotics. The Narcotics will help it stay asleep, while the berries and kibble will help it turn friendly. Keep feeding it till it is completely tamed and ready for riding.
